Chapter 7 A D.I.D.
The three were glad the hunters didn't follow them. It was already about 11:53 pm, but Sean and Randall were both taking precautions, Randall especially. He didn't want to be caught by surprise again like that kid. And thinking of how much harm she did to him wouldn't compare to what the harm the hunters would do. Randall was near the door while Sean was looking out the window.
Randall: So you followed me...
Sean turned.
Sean: Yeah...you were the only one I could tail...
Randall: How'd you get in?
Sean: Through a door...
Randall: Who's...door?...
Sean: The kids...
Randall: Oh that kid!...
Sean: Why'd you choose her for your plan?..
Randall felt a little hesitated by the question..
Randall:...Its just by random selection..
Sean knew he seemed to be lying but didn't want to invade the reptiles personal life.
Sean: Oh....
Randall: You saw the other two...
Randall focused his eyes on Sean, as if trying to see if he knew that they did have the kid.
Sean: Yeah...
Randall: Why didn't you tell me!?
Sean: Randall...my guess is you would have used the extractor on me or something....
Randall had to admit that since he didn't know Sean, he most likely would have..
Randall: Oh yeah...sorry about that...
Sean: Its ok....
The door opened knocking Randall down on his side onto the floor. Joy emerged from outside and entered the room. She looked down at Randall.
Joy: Oh...Sorry Randall...
Randall muttered something under his breath and got up onto the bed that was near were he had fell.
Joy: Why are you guys staying up so late?...
Sean: Were just being careful....
Randall: I'm not getting caught asleep...
Joy: Guys don't worry...
Joy: Those guys wont even think about coming here...so get some sleep...
Sean:(Sigh)...Fine you win..
Joy accepted the idea of winning and looked at Randall.
Joy: You too..
She moved closer to give Randall a kiss on the cheek, but he backed away and she decided to stop.
Joy: Fine lizard boy...
She heads out.
Randall: Yuck! She was so close to giving me a kiss?!
Sean: Who can blame her....
Randall: But a human kissing a monster!?
Sean: Crazy...
Randall: Yeah...
Sean: Well crazy things happen...
He fell asleep before...
Randall: What's that suppose to mean!?
Randall: Sean! Sean I know you can hear me!
Sean: ZZZZZZ
Randall gave up and went to sleep on his own bed.
*
It was around 3:00 pm before Sean woke up.
Sean:....Huh?...Jeez....
He got up.
Sean: Only a couple hours of sleep....
He walked near the door to see Randall was still asleep.
Sean: (Probably thinking about Jackie Chan pounding Sully and Mike)....
He slowly opened the door and closed it, he then turned to see Joy come out of her room.
Sean: Oh hey Joy...
Joy: Morning Sean...Where's Randall...
Sean: Still asleep...
Sean noticed Joy had some kind of purse with her.
Sean: Where you going?..
Joy: Well just to get some movies
Sean: Why?
Joy: One reason is that I think Randall would feel better seeing monsters scare people
Sean figured horror movies.
Sean: Why?...
Joy: He seemed kind of down...
Sean: Yeah....many things have bothered him...
Joy: So I'll be back in about 30 minutes
Sean: Ok see ya...
She heads down the stairs and out the door
Sean: Girls...
Sean went back in.
*
Randall had already heard the commotion outside in the hall and woke up rubbing his neck with his top hands.
Randall:(In a drossy voice) What was that all about..?
Sean: Joy just is stepping out for a little...
Randall: So what do we do....?
Sean: Well lets grab something to eat and head back here
Randall: Ok...but what, you know I'm a carnivore
Sean: There's a place called Snow White Grill down the street
Sean: They have meat foods there..
Randall hopped up from the bed and stood to his normal height and turned invisible.
Randall: Ok then...
*
While that was going on Joy was picking out some movies from Hollywood Video.
Joy: "When Good Ghouls go Bad".... "The Day Of The Living Dead"...
She got some and went to the counter.
Outside Hands and Cliff arrived.
Hands: Maybe there's a documentary about that kind of lizard here
Hands: May give us a...
He noticed Joy buying out.
Cliff: What is it?...
Hands: Its that girl! The one who is with the lizard!
Cliff: Who she....?
He pulled Cliff behind her car as she walked out.
Hands:...Wait for it...
Joy was about to open the door when
Joy: Ah...!
Her scream was cut short when Hands grabbed her by the mouth and hands, she tried to free herself as he dragged her to his car but couldn't. The three of them were in the car, Joy in the middle of the two.
Joy: I demand to know what you are doing!
Hands: Oh you know perfectly well what we are doing...
Hands: Just tell us where that beast is and we'll let you go...
Joy: (Randall!)...Never!
Hands: Bad choice....
Joy:!!!!
*
Sean was pacing back and forth. They had already gotten back to the hotel...but it was close to 4:00 pm.
Sean: Where is she...?
Randall was resting on the front side of the bed, the bottom part of his head elevated by his first set of hands.
Randall: Who knows....
Sean: Something's wrong...
Randall: Why would you worry about her so much...?
Sean: She and me are your only friends here...
Randall: Friends?...
Sean decided to move from that topic.
Sean: Well...lets just check it out....something's happened...
Randall: Fine....but just as a favor...
*
The two drove over to Hollywood Video to check the scene. Sean first noticed her car was still in the lot.
Sean: I knew it!
Sean: Randall would you mind checking the car while I check the store...?
Randall's invisible face nodded.
Sean appeared later with no lead.
Sean: Nothing how about you?...
Sean only saw a floating piece of paper and quickly grabbed it.
Randall(Invisible): That's all I could find...and I don't like it...
Sean looks at it.
" If you want your friend back deliver the lizard to the fair grounds at 7:00 tonight or you wont see her again!"
Sean: (Gasp!) Joy!
Randall:....
*
The two arrived at the hotel trying to figure out what to do...
Sean: What are we going to do...!
Randall: I guess....
Sean looked at Randall....
Sean: What?
Randall: (Gulp)...Give myself up...
Sean: No!....
Randall put his top right hand on Sean's shoulder.
Randall: You guys are my only friends....
Sean: Randall.....
Randall couldn't believe what he was saying, knowing the consequences, he knew he had to do it.
Sean: You...can't be serious....
Randall: I am....
Sean:.....But....
Sean: Ok...but when we make the trade all three of us run for it...
Randall:.....
Sean: Ok...(deep breath)...lets do this...
*
At the fair grounds Hands was keeping Joy in one of the animal cages since she was kicking him so much.
Hands: Thanks to you kid I probably need an operation...
Joy: Serves you right for trying to hurt Randall!
Hands: Randall?...You've given that thing a name?
Joy: He's not a thing!
Hands: Sure....huh?...
He noticed Sean's car pull up. Sean stepped out first...
Hands: Where's the lizard?!
Randall stepped out behind Sean.
Hands: Ah! There he is!
Hands: Now give him to me!
Sean: No way! Let Joy go first!
Hands:....
He opened the cage and grabbed her and he was about to give her to them when he pulled out a knife.
Sean: Joy!
Joy: Ehh! Let go of me!
Hands: Shut up!
Joy: Yeah right!
Hands turned his attention to Sean and Randall.
Hands: Now you give me him first....
Sean: !!!Err!
Unseen up in a tree Cliff was trailing a gun on Randall....
Randall, being faced with the same kind of stab, knew what he was going to do.
Randall: Let her go first or I'll tear you apart!
Hands: It can talk!
Randall folded his arms.
Randall: Of course I can...Now give her back!
Hands: I think I'll change the view....
He seemed to nod his head.
Randall: That's suppose to....
(Prink!)
Randall: Ehh!
Sean/Joy: Randall!
Sean looked at Randall to see he was shot with 3 darts in the neck..
Randall: Oh.........
He fell to the ground.
Sean: Randall!
He kneeled down as Cliff jumped down from the tree.
Sean: Randall....Randall!
Joy: Randall!
Hands: He's quite alright...just sleep darts now move away!
Sean looked to see Cliff focusing the bow gun on him. He backed away as Hands came closer..
Hands: Pick him up....
Cliff: Ehh!....Ehh!...He's too heavy!
Hands: Fine drag him into the car!
Cliff does this with one hand while the other still had the gun in his hand. Cliff put Randall into a cage and loaded it into his car as Hands came closer.
Hands: Good....Oh and boy...
Sean: Err!
Hands: I'll take good car of your Monster!
Sean:!!!!!!!
He shoved Joy down into the ground as he and Cliff got into the car and drove off. Sean ran over to her.
Sean: Joy you ok!
Joy: Yes I'm fine but they....they got him....
Sean: Don't worry....we'll get him back...
Sean: I promise you that...
No they got him! Your probably saying that now, but don't worry I got plans. Next chapter will be named "Clues of Fright". Hope you really enjoyed this chapter.( Oh...D.I.D means Damsel In Distress).
